To anyone with kids of any age, or anyone who has ever been a kid, here's some advice Bill Gates recently dished out at a high school speech about 11 things they did not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good politically correct teachings created a full generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
To anyone with kids of any age, here's some advice. We're not sure where this came from, but we've been told Bill Gates gave a speech at a high school about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it.
Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $40,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone, until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping - they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying YOUR bills, cleaning YOUR clothes, and listening to YOU talk about how cool YOU are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

I have a copy of that on my wall. It's one of the few things Bill Gates has said that I really believe. _________________ Sometimes I miss my sanity- Wedge Antilles

He who has the gold makes the rules? Yeah, I count it under #4.
Being nice to everybody is bullshit politicly correct pop theropy crap. You can't be nice to everybody, if you do you just end up being used and trampled by those that can take advantage of it. I'm not saying you have to be mean but being the idealistic ray of sunshine is crap.
Oh and looky!

there's a difference between being courteous, civil, and generally agreeable to everyone around you, and being a complete push-over... I'm nice to everyone, even if I don't like them, but I don't allow people to take advantage of me... luckily, being a scary looking 6'5" tall brown dude tends to filter away most of the real scumbags...
and cynicism about the state of human society is so ten years ago... _________________ "The principles you live by create the world you live in; if you change the principles you live by, you will change your world." -Blaine Lee

I know there's a joke in Andro's pic that involves the Roadrunner cartoons, but I just can't see it. _________________ "Just checking."
